To amplify weak optical signalsTo terminate outside-plant fiber on adapters that internal patch cords can reachTo convert single-mode to multi-modeTo switch traffic between VLANs

Question 2 of 3

Why is cross-connect typically preferred over interconnect for large or operator networks?

It uses fewer patch cordsIt isolates static cabling from active equipment changesIt has lower optical lossIt is required by IEEE
